Although at times she's not so gay.

This constant smile, regard her teeth.

piled this element of loveliness, may be re-
tanned through life by using the fragrant

been visited in this way everybody pre-
ceeded to the place where the race Of
the afternoon was to take place.
The track was over q dusty, tortuous
road, running from the edge Of the town
to hill about a mile distant, and re-
turn. When the riders mounted the ex-
element among the spectators was IN
tense, and when ths signal for the start
was finally given the noise was deafen-
ing. A little roam horse took the lead at
the start and was ahead when rise Of the
ground hid the riders from view.
A number Of men cried out that they
would bet four bits on the rcan, but they
found no takers. As the horses reap
peared two hortes seemed to lie neck and
neck; as they came nearer / could see
that EncaFnacion and the rider of the
roam horse we're ahead. Gradually the
utter fell behind and the race was won
by three lengths by Enca.nacion, who
became the hero of the day and was at
once surrounded by crowd of admirers.
The people seemed crazed with excite
ment and men and women we're shout
ing at the top OF their voices.
Finally Encarnacion, still hospitable
and courteous. conducted me to the place
where a shooting match was being ar
anged.
We had scracely arrived when we
heard chorus of shrill female voices in
an adjoining house, and my companion
hurried off to see what was the matter.
asking me to remain where l was until
he returned. The shooting was nearly

time he got back. He advanced smil-

I" I can scarcely tell you, senior, il

occasioned the cries we heard, and found
my Yda scratching and pulling the hair
of the girl was dancing with this after
noon. Iseized her and pulled her away
and tried to calm her. As soon as her
rage abated she commenced weeping
bitterly and reproaching me for having
deserted her. told her that had not
deserted her, but loved her more tender
ly than ever before, and the only reason
l did not show it was because she would
not allow me to do so. It is needless
for me to say what followed. We made
up, and I want you to come with me at
once and meet my future wife,"

Good Fishing with Clubs.

Big Lake is in Mississippi county,
Ark, near Osceola, and about hundred
miles from Memphis. Ordinarily it is
an imposing sheet of water, its dimen-
sions being forty miles long BY eleven
wide, but the almost unprecedented
drought restricted the limits Of the lake
to less than two miles Of water, and
that SO shallow that man in rubber
boots can wade it from shore to shore. A
quartet Of Nashvillians returned from
the lake yesterday with ITO trout and
20 drum fish, which weighed 375 pounds.
They fished by providing themselves
with stout oak sticks, about three feet
long. and wading about the lake, killing
the fish as they came to the surface.
They slaughtered the finny tribe right
and left, confning their victims to drum
and trout. The buffalo, was found in
amazing abundance, but was not desira-
bic, and so was left unharmed. Scores
of other parties were at the lake, and an
active trade set in, tons of fish bling
sent every day to dealers in distant cities.
Fish became drug, and finally the
Nashville delegation left for home.

Canals in China.

In reply to the question "What are
used on the Chinese canals in place Of
locks?" which recently appeared in the
New York Obser0er, the Rev. j. +. Riggs,
of Bergen Point, N. j., writes: s'Alany
of the canals in China are so constructed
along level ground that no locks are
needed, but in others where inequalities
must be met in some way, the old fa-
miliar principle of the inclinedNplane is
made to furnish a solution. The boat
is not foated up, but dragged up. 1t
is not done on q very large scale, how
ever as the boats are not equal to ours in
tonnage; and, furthermore, the plane
is not an ingenious piece Of mechanical
engineering like those on the Morris
Canal, New Jersey, but avery primitive
sort of mud slide On the Morris Canal
each boat is drawn into crib, standing
in the water, and then the whole, boat,
crib and all, is drawn on railway up
the plane, and let down gently into the
water Of the second level. 3utin China
no rails are used, and the boat is simply
dragged up on q wet surface, the enor-
nous friction of the bottom being some.
what reduced BY letting little watef
triclkle down the plane, SO making q Shiny
surface. This is better than nothing, yet
epositiyism as d working system has its
serious drawbacks
